carpophagus, a somewhat larger species with fewer pairs of 
legs. He is satisfied that most records of luminous centipedes 
in this country refer to the latter species, which is common, 
especially in uncultivated districts. He has only seen two 
examples of electricus, one from Whitley, Northumberland, 
and one from Whitby, Yorkshire.—T.S.

COLEOPTERA. 
Agabus congener, Pk., and other Beetles in Upper 
Swaledale.—In the early part of July I paid a brief visit to 
Birkdale Tarn, in Upper Swaledale, in search of Coleoptera 
inhabiting this high region of north-west Yorkshire. Out of 
a mossy moorland pool by the roadside near Keld I fished 
up a specimen of Agabus congener Pk., together with a few 
Hydroporus discretus Fair. In similar pools in the vicinity 
Hydroporus morio Dej. occurred pretty freely. On the shore 
of Birkdale Tarn the only beetles to be found were the common 
Nebria gyllenhali Sch., a solitary Campylus linearis L., and 
two species of Hzmalota. These last, however, have turned 
out to be H. tibialis Heer. and H. eremita Rye, both of 
them mountain species and neither appear to have been 
previously met with in Yorkshire. Another visit to this 
remote district—little known to the coleopterist—at a more 
favourable season would, I believe, result in some interesting 
captures, and well repay the entomologist for the long, though 
exhilarating, walk over the fells to this upland sheet of 
water.—M. LAwson THompson, Middlesbrough. 
Coleoptera on Ingleborough.—Early in July I hel a 
day’s collecting on Ingleborough. Examining moss in the 
stream flowing into Gaping Ghyll resulted in Geodromicus 
nigrita Mill. and Lesteva sharpi Rye; being taken sparingly, 
a single Ischnopoda cerulea Sahl. occurred with them. From 
under stones a single Arpedium brachypterum* Gr. was secured 
with Pterostichus vitreus Dj., not uncommonly. Judging from 
the elytra of Corymbites eneus L., observed under stones, that 
species must have been plentiful earlier in the season. A 
welcome Telephorus paludosus Fall. settled on a stone I was 
in the act of turning over. Near the summit Aphodius lapponum 
Gyll. was common in sheep dung, and with it a single Tachinus 
proximus Kr. occurred. Overtaken by a heavy shower when 
near the base of Ingleborough, I sheltered under an over- 
hanging ledge of rock, and found a small “Staph” slowly 
crawling on the rock which has since proved to be a specimen 
of the hitherto unique Eudectus whitei Shp.* I am indebted 
to Mr. E. A. Newbery for his kindness in identifying several 
of the above species.—E. W. Morse, Leeds.
